Red neck tool box suggestions
Larry Schramm replied to Buick35's topic in Automobile Humor and Interest
I know people that the bucket is what they used all of the time. I will admit that I use a bucket when I go the salvage yard because it is easy to carry or put on a two wheeler cart. I empty it out every time I get home and put all of the tools away in their correct place. As my grandmother used to say, " A place for everything and everything in it's place". -
This is what I have used.

Red neck tool box suggestions

How about this for a "tool box"? -
Looks like the wheel spokes are spring loaded. Interesting design.

Also make sure the tire pressures are correct, and IMO on the high side of the range.

Here is a picture of the tool to lubricate the springs.

And you are comparing the book to the things that you know. Think about all of the things that the governments are doing that we do not know about. Think about your cell phone. Knows where you are every second, your contacts, your computer information is being captured and probably every key stroke, your new cars track everything you do, where you go, how fast you drive, etc... and the list goes on.

Not just in this country, but compare the book to the tracking etc... that is happening in China..

Need a top for a Stwart Warner Vacuum fuel pump
Larry Schramm replied to GasWorksGarage's topic in Buick - Pre War
You might not want to look at the valve body gaskets on an automatic transmission. Last time I checked they were paper and they are under significant pressure. -
We are either there or very close. Read the book if you have not read it yet.

It is a vacuum port. The particular use would depend on the vehicle the carb is on.

Car Clubs...On a different note, what is YOUR idea?
Larry Schramm replied to Steve Moskowitz's topic in General Discussion
It all depends on where you wish to put your priorities. I do not smoke, rarely drink, do not own any boats, air planes, cottages, snow mobiles, motorcycles, four wheelers, do not attend any sports games, etc.... At one time I only dreamed of owning a 1915 & older HCCA vehicle. The next thing that I know I own more than one. After the first one, the rest just seemed to seek me out and begged me to own them. My wife was ok with my hobby to keep me busy and not in front of the TV all of the time. My hope is that I can finish getting them all tour ready to drive with my wife and the kids before I move on to the great garage in the sky. I got my daughter and her husband on a tour this year and they very much enjoyed the experience. They are planning on going again next year. Working on bringing in the next generation. Sharing the good fortune. -
In those years, vehicle wholesale price to the dealers could be as much as 25% depending on the model and accessories. Also, don't forget the person could have been friend of the dealer or a person that had other business dealings with that store. Also the company with the name at the top of the invoice could have been a distributor for Dodge vehicles and the vehicle is being sold to one of the dealers in the distributors area of responsibility. Think the Charles S Howard Buick Company in Calif/ owner of Seabiscuit race horse. He sold Buicks all over the west coast to smaller dealers. He was the factory wholesaler for Buick in the day. https://www.prewarbuick.com/features/charles_s_howard
